    When would this harassment end?? when would this government be taken to task for such blatant violations of democratic rights?

    Smart Aleck Saturday, 17 July 2010 11:02 AM

    If Lanka has published some anti government information why can't the government counter it through its own newspapers without harassing journalists?

    Has GOSL setup the CID just to go after Journalists who serve the public with information on wrong doings, NOT TO APPREHEND murderers, drug barons, blackmarketeers, VAT fraudsters etc????????????????????
